Israel July 2008


Stacie Swan --our former music director who is soon to be Stacie Post--and I have been working on a trip to Israel for next summer for folks at EverGreen. We're very excited about the trip and the impact it can have on our being passionate followers of Jesus. We'll be walking the ancient paths to discover how to walk passionately for Jesus today. Some of the ancient paths will be in places like Galilee where we visit the villages the disciples lived in, the Synagogue that sits on top of one that Jesus likely taught in. We will visit places like En-gedi and Masada and at the end of the tour we'll walk the path of the Triumphal entry and experience the death and resurrection of Jesus followed by going to the place where the day of Pentecost most likely took place.

The trip will include a lot of hiking (6-8 miles a day) and climbing in hot weather which in our past trips we found to be hard but excellent. More information and the cost of the trip will be coming out in August, but just wanted you to know right now what's coming up.

Pastor Larry,

The trips sounds like an absolutely, fabulous idea. My mother took a trip similar to this many years ago. The impact of touring the holy lands was significant in my mother's life.

I'll be looking forward to more information.

Have a blessed day!

Dawn
